Bucks vs Knicks: Prediction, Team News and Milwaukee’s Six-Game Slide

Milwaukee Bucks vs New York Knicks prediction and picks

Milwaukee has lost six in a row and sits 1-9, the latest a 117-97 home defeat to Boston on Sunday. Tyler Herro is questionable on the league’s report after a knee contusion in that game.

The Knicks lost their first three and have won five of six since. Jalen Brunson scored 31 and Karl-Anthony Towns had 29 and 13 rebounds in Saturday’s 109-97 win in Cleveland.

Score prediction

Knicks 118-103 Bucks. The Bucks have lost their six games since their only win by an average of 18.3 points. The Knicks are 3-2 at home and have won their last three by 13, 30 and 12. We have New York by 15.

Bucks vs Knicks prediction

The Canadian books make the Knicks about an 89 per cent chance, and we agree they should win.

A spread of 15.5 asks a lot of any team, and with Hart’s ankle still in doubt and Milwaukee likely to keep its starters on the floor longer in a game it badly needs, we think the number sits right where the game will finish, so we leave it alone.

Our pick: the Knicks to win. The spread is −15.5 at every book that priced it, right on our margin, so we pass on it.

What would change it: if Brunson were ruled out, we would still back New York but expect a much closer game.
